get in with an old hoover and some flash and hot water and scrubbing brush.. get the bruh soaking in hot water and flash all purpose( or carpet cleaner) then scrub everything like hell. get the seats soaked. after doin each section hoover the excess water up.. then leave to dry with a window open a tad for a day or two always worked for me!

well the cars hardly elite yet!. bought it needing loads of work a week ago, so far ive completely stripped all sound deadening, carpets and interior trim, changed the sunrrof, sealed up a leak in bulkhead and put new sound deadening and cleaned everything. Ive stripped the seat down and welded it back together (side bolster was gubbed) tomorrow i have three new temp senders to fit, a new water pipe connection in side of head and a full service to complete. then after that ive gotta respray the bonnet and cut and polich the rest of car.. after all that ill be ten times happier with it lol the fun and games

well the only things i changed were the motor and inner linign and the metal part oon top in place of the glass and it works a treat..
-
wel do u want me to take a pic of the motor that came from it to show u what it looks like? its been pissing it down all night and its sealed!!! wahey!!!

weird?? the vento roof had six wire motor on it. I just unscrewed it off and replaced it for my moor and all was well .. and yes my motor is a three wire motor.

don;t htink it will make any difference tho will it? i thought it was just the motor wiring that was different between early and late and thats why i changed the motors over. apart from the motors and the liners the sunroof mechanisms were the same between vento and corrado

it looks like a completely normal sunroof seeing as i changed the panel. only thing it doesn;t do is tilt the interior panel up now. fit is fine the vento had no plates but it was the same shape as a mk3 golf just with a boot... It had late spec motor on it so i just swapped it with my motor from the raddos old sunroof

after picking up my corrado project ( named The Hawk) I found that surprise surprise the sunroof mechanism was gubbed. dropped headling and tok it out and it seems there were bits broke.. so off to the scrappy for a nice working sunroof. No passats so I grabbed one from a vento which measured up the same and was glass. Whacked it into the raddo and turns out the ventos have a more curved roof so the glass stuck up in middle. solution.... took subframe back out, remove glass and the lining for the glass, replace with metal raddo lid and its lining and hey presto, a wroking raddo sunroof with better mechanics ( so every one says ) and all for an aftrnoons work and 25 notes for parts. not bad i thought! moral of story.. look at the curves before ripping sunroofs out but if u do what i did, vento sunroofs work too!! wahey Fraz
